The Hillsborough County Property Appraiser comes on the show
to discuss the inner workings of valuation. While the discussion is
specific to Hillsborough County, the laws are applied across the
State in a similar fashion. We cover how assessors arrive at their
valuations, some of the rights property owners have and what you
can do to contest a valuation if you don't agree.
